Katy rocks to help | The Philippine Star

For this concert, it’s not Katy alone who will lend a helping hand but her guests Arnel Pineda and Neal Schon of Journey, American band Mae and Jed Madela. They waived their talent fees for the event.

“I’m proud and humbled to be here,” says Neal of his participation in the concert. “(I hope we can) raise a lot of money. I want to give back and help in whatever way I can.”

US, Filipino artists rock for storm victims – with Arnel Pineda & Neal Scho

His jaw-dropping set was followed by a fiery, five-song segment featuring Arnel Pineda, another globally recognized Filipino who is the new vocalist of the pop-rock band Journey.

Perhaps energized by Madela’s example, Pineda—accompanied by members of his former band Zoo and Journey cofounder and guitarist Neal Schon—blasted away with Led Zeppelin’s “Rock and Roll” and four Journey originals, “Any Way You Want It,” “Faithfully,” “Separate Ways” and “Don’t Stop Believing.”

Pineda’s voice was in excellent shape—soaring with a tone so clear and bright which, in a manner, symbolized strength and hope for a country still recovering from its recent bout with disaster.
